It’s not accurate to say that FSM attracts intelligent followers by its nature. Genuinely intelligent people don’t have time for the joke, so what we get is people who know nothing and want a place to mock religion, as well as people who have read up a bit on evolution or have read up on Dawkins and have a few points on which they can argue.

The Church is funded entirely by your purchases of FSM merchandise. Thank you for your support.
An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

I can easily rebut this comment because I myself am genuinely intelligent. I have a literally perfect academic record, including qualifications in maths, physics, chemistry, biology, geology and astronomy. Presently, I’m reading for a degree in Earth Sciences at St. Edmund Hall in the University of Oxford, which I fully expect to follow up with a doctorate. I have been collecting geological specimens and scientific textbooks for most of my life.
Everything that I have seen and read in every field of science has confirmed the existence of His Noodliness. For example, the problem of wave-particle duality is completely solved by considering light and so on to be streams of wavy spaghetti.
Yours as intimidatingly as possible,
etc.
Does not attract intelligent followers? O RLY??? ;)

Don’t forget the Atheist’s Pope Richard Dawkins
Above, Ted Linguini wrote “Take faith and twirl it on a fork.” This suggests a great tag line for the Church of the FSM:
“Pastafarianism: Faith you can twirl on a fork.”
I have seen countless people debating over evolution, and I can conclude that their work achieved nothing. The IDers are so rooted in their faith that any evidence can be beaten by a simple “God did it.” That is where FSMism comes in; simple mockery and humor can expose the ridiculousness of some of the creationist ideas. If you are simply suggesting that most people on our forums are stupid, then you have wasted your time. The fact is that most people in this world are stupid. If you look at any community, you will probably find that most members are stupid. You are one of said stupid people. Congratulations, -f-er
Thanks for the reference Zok! This is good stuff. Max: Long live ridicule of the stupid! Since we’re buried in the annoying fuckers we way as well have a little fun.
That’s the spirit!
“Pastafarianism: Faith you can twirl on a fork.”
I love it, matey.
I, too, agree with the new motto. I want a bumper sticker.

Like Hi IQ, my own IQ is 162. Pretty high. I also have three jobs and go to school, so I’m busy too. Yet I still have time to meander over to this site once or twice a day. Honestly, if I didn’t find the time to laugh, I’d probably go completely mad and start believing that an invisible man lived in the sky, had premarital sex with a fourteen year old, then later killed the resulting child and turned him into a zombie.
You know, Jesus being a zombie explains a lot. Coming back from the dead, the brain eating… hmm…
How many specialists of evolution or any branch of biology actually can deny evolution. Almost zero. And what about these so called “holy men” of Christianity what are they experts in? They know nothing but what they were taught in church or read in a book based on nothing that can be proven. Evolution is based on scientific fact, research it. It makes sense, ID does not. It’s not so difficult to see how Natural Selection works my friend. Science can be proven, Religion can not be proven.
I may just, technically, be an irish kid of the age of 15, but if god is perfect,, why would he feel the need to create anything, much less an imperfect world? If to be perfect is to be complete in every sense, then why would he feel the desire to create, and why would he feel the need to tempt his people. To me this suggests either sadism , or really having nothing better to fdo with his time. If anyone wants to hear of anymore arguments against God(s) i’ve got a few more cooking here. And by the way, in case you haven’t noticed,im not tryinfg to offend your beliefs, these are merely my own. Thank you. And (i know i shouldn’t start a sentence with it, but who cares?) who gave you the right to assume that people of an intelligent nature wouldn’t have time for a joke? That is highly offensive and blatantly incorrect
Intelligent people don’t have time for the joke….. what an arse…. I have 2 degrees and currently work as a scientist…. intelligent people always have time for a joke…. maybe more time ’cause it doesn’t take us quite as long to get the joke dumbshit!
Ok so my 4.0 GPA in a double major doesn’t make me intelligent?????? Oh and I have 2 jobs and 2 children (yep smarties also), let’s see I volunteer at my local zoo, I volunteer to teach people to read, and on and on
AND
I always have time for intelligent satire and critical thinking.
I attended a magnet school in Austin, TX, which while being smack dab in the middle of hickdom, is one of the more prestigious public high schools (that’s kind of an oxymoron I know). I’m doing more extra-curricular activities than average (scio, cretamen, knowledge masters, Latin club and im filming a mildly satirical movie (most people will just laugh)) but I have a very good Christian friend who argues with me over evolution and ID constantly, but I don’t hate him, I believe that there is too much broad hostility being conveyed by us(aren’t we suppose to be the smart ones?) to all Christians. We as a faith are losing our original purpose, to get rid of ID from schools and keep it out. From the various hate mails we have gotten we have begun to lose sight of our purpose, we are turning from activists to a Christian hating cult, come on guys lets not be another scientologist cult

lets only attack the people who attack us, and I can share a joke when intellegant people lose sight of what makes us human we become the hitlers and stalins of the world.

Everybody comes here and touts their credentials. You are throwing everything you have out there to give yourself more credibility. Your inflated sense of entitlement and self-worth is hilarious. I hope that this is not the attitude that you have towards everything in your life. It is interesting that even after getting a 4.0 GPA in your double major (in what and what?), you are not uniquely useful enough to anyone for them to hire you on full time. Everyone loves themselves first and loves their kids second. Everybody thinks they know better. You are average, and your two kids are average. There is nothing wrong with being average. 50% of people just as dumb or dumber than you are, 50% are just as smart or smarter. Its the lower half that you teach reading skills to. Volunteering at a zoo is not an indication of your intelligence.

FSM is not critical thinking. Its a joke. Its not intelligent satire. Its slapstick.

Seems more like intelligent satire to me.
And what does that say about you?

Feel free to leave! Thanks for enlightening us with your “superior opinion”
Ms. Rice…
Back at’cha, matey!!!
